WAHOOO!!!!

We finally got a bid on our house!!! I can't believe it, I'm so excited. Tomorrow we're going out to look at a house we went through before that we still like and we are also going to look at several others. Unfortunately we have to make all these big decisions really quick. The perspective buyers want to move in by March 15th. So in that time we have to find a house we like, make an offer, and possible wait for the current owners to move out themselves. It's going to be tight. The house we like the best still has people living in it, only they are down in Florida right now. I just hope that if we decide to buy that house that they can come back from Florida and move everything out in time for us to move all our stuff in before the 15th of March. It's all very scary and exciting.




Is this video clip familiar to you? It's Fiona's current favorite TV show. We've been getting old Reading Rainbow episodes on DVD from the library. It's really fun to watch these again and sooooo much more interesting for us adults than Barney and the likes. She loves LeVar Burton. And it's really funny to hear her say his name and ask where he is whenever he's not on the screen. The thing that's the most frustrating is that at some point after I outgrew reading rainbow they changed the intro to the show. It's not this cute cartoon anymore and the lady singing the theme song has a grating voice. This old original intro was so great. I remember watching this show all the time. You can't beat Reading Rainbow. So much fun information in a small period of time that's perfect for Fiona's attention span. She likes all the animal themed shows the best of course. I think her favorite is when LeVar takes his dog to a doggy birthday party at a real dog restaurant. The episode ends with a group of dogs sitting around the table wearing party hats and eating a dog bone shaped cake. It's really fun being a parent and sharing weird old 80's stuff with your kid and remembering why it was so cool in the first place when you were a kid yourself.
